Cocoa Cinnamon

Great coffee, a super-mellow vibe and awesome sweets are on the menu at Cocoa Cinnamon, an institution for the coffee-loving set in Durham. Owners Leon and Areli Barrera de Grodski are fascinated by the origins of everything — from the beans to the chocolate used to make drinks like their Al Moka, a riff on the classic mocha featuring Kallari chocolate from Ecuador. In addition, the cafe serves two choices of espresso; three single-origin, hand-poured coffees; and monthly drink specials.
